Past Mayor raises significant sum for Wiltshire Air Ambulance

Councillor Andrew Davis was delighted to be able to visit the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Operations Centre in Devizes to present a cheque for the sum of £2,056 from his fundraising efforts for the charity during his year in office from May 2014 to May 2015. “I chose Wiltshire Air Ambulance as my Mayor’s charity because I feel it is there to help anyone at any time when in need of immediate medical support. It is a wonderful service that is so important to our community as we live in such a rural area,” said Councillor Davis, who presented the cheque to Richard Miller, a Critical Care Paramedic. He added, “the charity relies almost entirely on public donations to keep flying and does not receive central government funding, so it is vital that they get support from the community”.
Rebecca de la Bedoyere, Fundraising Manager at Wiltshire Air Ambulance, said: "It was a real pleasure welcoming Councillor Andrew Davis to the Operations Centre. Being Mayor of Warminster undoubtedly kept him very busy, yet he still managed to raise an amazing £2,056 during his time in office, which will help support our lifesaving service. We're incredibly grateful to him for all his hard work, and to the people of Warminster who contributed to this fantastic sum."
